I am planning to use my Hennessy Explorer Ultralight on my AT thru-hike next year. Current plans put me atop Springer Mtn on the 18th of March, which should give me the pleasure of some rather nippy nights.
I've just gotten the UnderCover and UnderPad for the hammock. I am thinking I can supplement the underpad with my down jacket and a heat sheet. I also will be carrying a Thermarest ProLite 4, which is part of my pack's suspension and which I will also use if I sleep in a shelter or in hostels, etc. I'll be starting the trail with either my 0* or my 20* Mountain Hardwear down bag.
So, finally, I get to my questions. Just how cold do you think I can sleep comfortably in the Hennessy with the undercover, underpad, down jacket, and heat sheet? What about if I add the thermarest inside?
Oh, and is it better to put the down jacket on top of the underpad, or underneath it? Or does it matter? Any good tricks to minimize the thermarest sliding around inside the hammock?
